I was always an actor, starting in middle school. I was in all the plays and all that. But dancing didn't come into my life until late into high school.

I became disillusioned with dance when I was 16 and started focusing on acting.

I was pretty much a homebody; didn't really go to school dances, never went to a prom. I was a bit of a loner, a geek.

I was home-schooled and I graduated super-early. But I've always had older friends, so I got to go to all their dances. I got the best of both worlds. I had the choice to go to prom with a friend of mine and I decided not to because I was filming very close to that. But red carpets and the 'G.B.F' prom were so much better.

I was a kid watching music videos, which were so cool and made me want to learn how to dance. I wish I could've gone to dance classes and learn, like, hip-hop dancing.

I did a lot of dancing when I was young.

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing.
